What would be the easiest self hosted way to share a music collection privately?

I am thinking of just granting guest access to the nas folder via wireguard or a simple caddy instance but also more sophisticated versions.

It would be good (but not a must) to have a search feature enabled.

Any recommendations?

    Subsonic is perfect for this. Interface is a bit… dated, but the functionality is there.

      But use Airsonic instead, it’s a fork that’s free in both the beer and speech sense.

      There’s also Navidrome, which is a unique backend, but works with existing Subsonic clients. Check out both, see which one you like better.

        I was just about to reply that I liked supporting the developer of the original code and that it wasn’t too expensive (I bought a “lifetime premium” for something like $30 USD I think) . But it seems the licensing has gotten ridiculous since then and is now a subscription. :-(
